Merge branch 'tc/replay-linearize' into jch

The 'git replay' command has been taught the '--linearize' option to
drop merge commits and linearize the replayed history, mimicking 'git
rebase --no-rebase-merges'.

* tc/replay-linearize:
  replay: offer an option to linearize the commit topology
  replay: resolve the replay base outside pick_regular_commit()
  replay: add helper to put entry into replayed_commits

+
The default mode can be configured via the `replay.refAction` configuration variable.
--linearize::
In this mode, each replayed commit is stacked on top of the
previously replayed one, so all replayed commits are flattened into
a single linear history.
+
When a merge commit is encountered, the behavior of git-rebase(1)'s
option `--no-rebase-merges` is imitated. All commits in the range
reachable from the merge commit are replayed into a linear history, and
the merge commit itself is dropped. A ref that pointed to a merge commit
is updated to the merge's last replayed ancestor.
+
This flattens the `<revision-range>` as a whole. When multiple revision
ranges are given they are stacked on top of each other into one linear
history. Each of their refs is updated to point to its position in that
history. To linearize ranges separately, replay them in separate `git
replay` invocations.
<revision-range>::
Range of commits to replay; see "Specifying Ranges" in
